[Exist-open] Error SENR0001: attribute '...' has no parent element, when retrieving from document

[Oystein R. <oys...@ak...>]

In an eXist database of mine I have a document that every now and then 
gets updated, from a cgi program via REST, with XQuery and the XQuery 
Update Extensions. The cgi also now and then retrieves data _from_ that 
document, and I suddenly discovered this process failed. When I tried to 
inspect the document with the Webstart Client I got an "attribute '...' 
has no parent element" error. I managed to delete it and replace it with 
a healthy version, and there's no damage done. But is it possible that 
my document contained an attribute node with no parent? That my XQuery 
doing the updating is not quite correct, and sometimes produces xml 
containing an attribute node with no parent, and this faulty stuff is 
stored to the database?
